Genetic linkage

The intervention strategies the clinician will use to target Amanda’s specific language weakness are narratives and discourse. The client’s teacher main concerns were the areas of expressive language skills as well as limited vocabulary. The clinician will target narratives and discourse to increase the client’s expressive language skills. Research by McCabe and Bliss, supports that children should have the ability to provide with a minimum of two events in a narrative. The clinician can…

Week 3 Assignment Please thoroughly answer the following 5 questions. 1. By conducting testcrosses, researchers have found that the sweet pea has seven linkage groups. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in leaf cells? The cell leaf would be able to contain 14 chromosomes within the sweat pea. The sweat pea should have seven chromosomes per set. The sweet pea should contain two sets of chromosomes. 2. Explain why inversions and reciprocal translocations do not usually cause…

Some examples of sex-linked disorders are hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and colorblindness. The sex-linked disease that was further researched was Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that cause continuous muscle weakness and a decrease in the volume of muscle tissue. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal sex-linked recessive neuromuscular disorder (Lim, Maruyama, & Yokota, 2017). This disorder was first discovered by…

disciplines must conform.” Whilst there is and has always been an argument that culture is tasked with controlling the population of a society. That each unique culture throughout the world is predetermined to follow a set path, and system due to genetic evolution is both unconfirmable and highly implausible. This can be seen in the widely variant nature of differing culture systems that exist throughout the world, and their associated symbolisms and approaches to societal expectations. If this…

crucial component in Protein Synthesis. It serves as an adaptor molecule between the codon, the three nucleic acids and the amino acid after which a specific protein will be synthesized. It is the intermediate in Protein Synthesis which interprets the genetic code. Without tRNA, translation in prokaryotes or eukaryotes could not take place. Common Features of tRNA Molecule Each amino acid has at least one tRNA molecule. Therefore, these tRNA molecules have a common design as they have to all…

Introduction Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a fatal disease that is characterized by the appearance of rapid aging in children. HGPS is rare, affecting roughly 1 in 8 million live births. HGPS can be identified by early symptoms that include slow development, limited growth, alopecia, localized scleroderma, and a distinct facial structure which includes a small face, shallow jaw, and pinched nose. As the disease progresses, new symptoms arise, such as hearing and vision loss…

proposed by Williams in 1957, whereby Williams suggest a specific type of genetic inter-trait linkage, pleiotropy, as an evolutionary explanation for senescence (Williams 2001). Pleiotropy, or inter-trait linkage exists in a way to make it difficult for the evolution process to remove an individually adverse trait, such as aging, without simultaneously removing one or more beneficial traits. To explain further, inter-trait linkage is the phenomenon where one gene controls more than one…

Being a twin is a unique experience that can have a variety of effects on the lives of the twin pair. However, being a twin does come with challenges, especially in personality differentiation and identity formation for each child. There are many topics relating to the development of personality and sociality within the realms of Psychological Development. The purpose of this essay is to discern that relationship and whether or not evidence may be found to prove that twins have different of…

IMMUNE SYSYEM Assignment: 17TH SEPT 2015 GENETIC COUNSELLING, ETHICAL ISSUES IN MANAGEMENT OF HEMOGLOBINOPATHIES Objectives 1. Describe risk assessment in genetic counseling One of the most important aspects of genetic counseling is the provision of a risk factor. Estimation of the recurrence risk requires consideration of: i) The diagnosis and its mode of inheritance ii) Analysis of the family pedigree iii) The results of tests, which can include linkage studies using DNA markers. The…

to each other, divided by dissimilar, short sequences of virus DNA. The Cas9 part is a linked nuclease that is aided by a guide RNA, used to cut DNA. The CRISPR/Cas9 system is an immune response in bacteria that works when a virus, releases its genetic code into the bacteria. The virus DNA is stored in the bacteria DNA, so that it can specifically attack that virus, where it to invade again. When the virus attacks the bacteria again, its DNA is detected through an RNA base pairing method. It…
